Welcome to Episode 81 of our podcast, Courageous Conversations, hosted by Leanne Pilkington.
In this episode, our guest is Michael Sheargold, The Entrepreneurs Growth Coach. He talks about the ’empathy factor’, how to avoid the slump of a lockdown, and being the leader your team needs right now.
Michael explains right now the focus should be on what winning looks today or this week rather than the long-term view. It should also shift from what people can’t do to the things that they can.
Michael also offers some great tips on giving your team the energy and support they need, along with how to set up a winning day.
He also poses the question every leader should be asking their team members to foster accountability and turn goals into action.
“Often when I’m talking with great agents and leaders, there’s this perception if there were 100 things you could do pre-COVID there’s only 90 you can do now. So there’s 10 things you can’t do.
“Are you going to focus on the ones you can’t do or become really, really good at doing the 90 that you can?” Michael Sheargold.
